I've always wanted to run D-I, said Buser, a 12-time West Virginia state champion in track and cross country. ?I didn?t know if I'd get a full ride or not, but it happened. Read More

Indians' Mock makes leap to WVU
By Rick Kozlowski, Journal sports writer
BERKELEY SPRINGS —There’s word association; then there’s song association for Berkeley Springs’ Meghan Mock.
As a sophomore, the West Virginia University track and field signee had the Beatles “Drive My Car” affiliated with her.
During her junior year, her track teammates assigned Avril Lavigne’s “Girlfriend” to Mock as she listened to the song continuously during one meet last season — and then it stuck in her head later, the refrain playing over and over.
A senior season possibility might include Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer,” given her small physical stature.Read More

Doddridge runner commits to Richmond
Grandt set state record in cross country
By JIM BUTTA, jbutta@newsandsentinel.com
WEST UNION - Few could blame area cross country and track coaches if they didn't attend the graduation ceremonies at Doddridge County High School last month.
Among the list of those expected to receive their diploma was Bulldog standout Levi Grandt.
Not only did that event occur, but the two-time Class AA/A cross country champion did so knowing that his college career was just around the corner.
"He (Grandt) never really talked about it (college)," head boys' track coach Chris Cress. "By the time I really knew anything about it, he was going to Richmond."Read more
